How's College Going?

[Sjorge450R]

Many of us are back to school now and I was just curious as to what everyone is up too.

I have been alright with a work load and it should be relatively light this semester....having Fridays off is a blast and it allows for good times on Thursday night without the consequences of missing class:D

How about everyone else. Hows college treating you.

Schedule is pretty awesome besides the late class. I have 4 day weekends every weekend :) Wednesday i only have 1 class and it sucks because its 7:00 - 9:40PM. Other than that its great.

SUCKS. I have a Monday/Wednesday class and lab combo that is 3 1/2 hours long. Talk about miserable! Then I've got an English class in the morning Tuesday/Thursday followed by a Psych class at 7 at night. Pretty much a waste of those two days.

early mornings late nights. alway behind in homework, sounds like a fun time to me. All things aside school is going pretty good this year so far. just a lot of busy work and stuff so far. this is week 4 for us at MTU. go mechanical engineers! steve

I only have class 3 days a week which is good but commuting 300 total miles/week is a pain in the arse not to mention the wife commutes 200 with her set of classes and switching programs from software programming to architectual drafting, my classes start from 6pm and go to 10:30 pm but i'm doing ok just started on my classes so we'll see what happens.

its funny I was actually dropped out of all of my classes and when i signed back up they couldnt give me the same schedule because the classes were full. I'm thinking oh great i'm going to get the worst classes and times. It ended up working out in my advantage. It could be better but hey i'm not complaining about 4 day weekends

SUCKS!! lol. Feel like all I do is school, homework, work, homework, school, homework, work, weekend comes, homework homework homework, food, homework homework, OH LOOK, Monday again... lol :p

i get a lot of homework this year!!! i'm an RA as well, so that consumes my life. nothing like dealing with a suicide attempt while trying to study for a test...:ermm:

O college! I graduated from ECU about 2 years ago. Long tuff road though. Props to anyone doing Mechanical Engineering! I got my first degree at community college in Engineering. Then I came to Greenville for Industrial Technology, Mechanical Design. I had to do all of the CNC and drafting classes and I actually had a good time in most. Boy did I get the wrong degrees at the wrong time though. The economy went south as soon as I graduated ECU and anyone doing any kind of engineering was screwed. Hopefully things will change for you young guns out there. Also, be sure to start looking at jobs at least a year before you graduate! If possible try and find an intership as well. Everyone hiring for any kind of engineering positions want experience. Get it while you are in school if you can! Just my 2 cents. Good luck to all of yall.

Just started my 2nd year for PTA. Right now they're throwing everything at us and it's really hard. Mon-Thurs are my classes and I'm either in class, in the library or sleeping. I'm off to a great start with all As and a 95 in Anatomy and Physiology. Next year we get shipped out to wherever we want in the country to work in the field for a month at a time 3 times out of the year. I scheduled my first trip to Wyoming so I can live with my sister. School is hard as hell and then I go home every weekend (100 miles) to work my job fri, sat, sun and see my girlfriend. Keeping the girl happy is just as challenging as keeping up with my studies!! :p

[J.Brown121]

mine is going pretty well. 8am-11am and 1pm-2:30pm monday and wednesday and 10am-11am on fridays so i get to sleep in friday and then go home early:)

[ricksmx865]

Horrible!

Class from 9-5:10 leave straight from there and drive an Hr to work. Get off work at midnight. do it all again the next day. Make up missed hrs on Sat.

Sooooo ready to be done! :mad:

I have class Monday-Friday but I'm done by noon everyday. Like an idiot I took two math classes at once again...second time I've done that, I don't know why I do:rolleyes: .

It's going good though. The weeks are flying by which is strange for me. I can't believe September is almost over.
